the source of amazonite’s color was a mystery. Many people assumed the color was due to traces of copper because copper compounds often have blue and green colors. More recent studies suggest that the blue-green color results from small quantities of lead and water in the feldspar.
Amazonite is found in relatively few locations in the world. At one time it was found almost exclusively in Russia, in the Ilmen mountains. More recently, deposits have been found in the USA (Colorado), Brazil and Madagascar.
Amazonite is said to calm one’s emotions and soothe nerves, and to enhance creativity and the ability to express oneself. Perhaps the strongest recommendation for its metaphysical power is that Amazonite is said to make your married life happier.
